About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

Acclaimed Al Duca (recently relocated) serving authentic food from "Apericena", cicchetti (Italian tapas) to innovative starters and mains.

After 25 years of praise & accolades Al Duca relocated from St James's to Willow Place, tucked away in the vibrant Victoria area of Westminster, London. At Willow Place, Al Duca has adopted a simpler style, more choices & flexibility ... customers can choose from a delicious 3 course meal to a tasty nibble (cicchetti).

Chef Gianni (of Al Duca - St James and Gustoso Enoteca) brings an authentic Italian experience with dishes crafted from simple, fresh ingredients as well as innovative twists on traditional recipes for which Al Duca has always been renowned.

The Al Duca Team keeps true to Italy's sense of hospitality and are here to ensure your dining pleasure.

    We had a 5.30 sitting as pressed for time. The service was helpful and efficient. So efficient that we had time for a dessert. Wonderful to have it reopen as Al Duca after the closing of Gustoso and even better

    We had 4 “starters”, 3 Pastas, one desert. They ARE out of the world. Wine is top of the class with almost the same price as in Vivino. New place, new style of menu (small plates option for most of the dishes) BUT, THE quality, THE authenticity, THE uniqueness, so many THE;s etc are THE SAME. Value for money is unparalleled especially in this post COVID world. Thank you Al Duca.
